There have been several notions, mostly preconceived about
monks. On this magical journey I got a chance to know some of the monks of
different age groups quite closely during the classes I took with them and my
perception of them as people completely changed. I believe monks; of any age are
the most balanced people I have encountered around me. Their lives have several
layers; layers that people like us would discover only if we spent enough time
with them.

Think of someone far away from their homeland; a homeland
that is claimed by someone else as theirs, living miles away in a place just to
follow one man whose teachings mean the world to them, His Holiness. It’s
inconceivable for someone like us who know where we belong to.

Tenzin Dhancho lives in the Tashi Choeling Monastery in
Mcleodganj. He doesn't speak much but when he is asked to let himself free, he
transforms into a joyous soul.

We all are the same, just scattered all over making the
world what it is.

I have been back on this space after a long time and I missed
this space and our interaction. But now I have so much more to share with you. I
shall slowly, in different mediums.

Traveling alone since I was sixteen; from the then deserted pathways of Auroville to teaching monks at a monastery in Dharamsala, from cooking for strangers in Morocco to make a living to finding my family roots in the mystical land of Benares; little did I know that a timid little boy who was brought up in an unconventional milieu would someday articulate his thoughts through visuals that would speak his mind.
